Text Style Editor Optical Alignment

[Hangman]

I didn't see this one in @Sean P's list so I'm adding this as an additional item in case it's not already logged...

The 'Optical Alignment' section of the Text Style Editor includes a seemingly unnecessary 0% option serving no obvious purpose. The option doesn't appear in the Character Panel...

The ⨂ Delete buttons also appear visually to be greyed out despite being functional, in v2.4.2 they are white and appear visually 'active'.

😭I'm trying to respond bit by bit to make replying easier, but hadn't quite got there yet. I've actually replied now in that thread.

Whilst we really do appreciate the effort, would it be possible to make one thread per issue please - because managing these huge multi issue threads is becoming extremely unwieldy.

Of course, apologies, I had no desire to complicate things so will do, though slightly confused as this new thread was specific to a different issue, i.e., the 0% addition...

Apologies - I did miss the original message.

This is a bit of a strange one. What seems to be happening is by default there isn't anything in the list, so it won't override any values that may already be set. However when you click 'Add' to add a field its then populating it with both a new entry and also the preset default values.

This behaviour appears to be the same in 2.4.2, albeit without the 'No Change' message. However I wonder if it should even be adding the default list or not? I'll get it logged and passed on to check on the behaviour!
